HOLD ON TO THE NIGHT

HOLD ON TO THE NIGHT

    

    Richard Marx
    Just when I believed I couldn't ever want for more.
    This ever changing world pushes me through another door.
    I saw you smile
    And my mind could not erase¹ the beauty of your face
    Just for a while,
    Won't you let me shelter you.
    Hold on to the night
    Hold on to the memory
    I wish that I could give you something more,
    That I could be yours
    How do we explain
    something that took us by surprise
    Promises in vain
    Love that is real, but in disguise
    What happens now
    Do we break another rule, let our lovers² play the fool?
    I don't know how to stop feeling this way
    Hold on to the night
    Hold on the memory
    If only I could give you more...
    Well, I think that I've been true to everybody else but me
    And the way I feel about you makes my heart long to be free
    Every time I look into your eyes I'm helplessly³ aware
    That the someone I've been searching for is right there
    Hold on to the night
    Hold on to the memory
    I wish that I could give you more....
    Hold on to the night
